Electronic Surveillance in Communications

Criminal investigations often involve real-time electronic surveillance. For instance, government agents may want to monitor a hacker as he breaks into a victim computer system or set up a "cloned" email account to monitor a suspect sending or receiving child pornography. In cases involving cellular telephones, agents may wish to obtain "cell-site" location information for a suspect's cellular telephone to determine the suspect's approximate location at the time of a call. This course discusses the relevant statutes and case law which governs electronic surveillance in communications.
